Push-in attempt by BSF foiled
Three push-in attempts by the Indian Broder Security Force (BSF) were foiled by BDR personnel with the help of villagers along the northern border of Bangladesh on Monday last.
Thirty-five Indians, most of them women and children, were brought to the border for pushing them into Bangladesh, official sources said.
Earlier, on the night of Sunday last, BSF personnel of Lalchandpur camp tried to push 23 people into Bangladesh through three barbwire fence gates along the Dinajpur border between Khanpur and Sundara Border Out Posts (BOP), they said.
The attempt failed as members of the 14 Rifles Battalion and local people put up resistance, they said.
The push-in attempt is in violation of the understanding reached between BDR and BSF, they said.
